🤝 Introducing Nashville Pairings

Inspired by my recent trip to Resting Burrito Face + Merge Coffee Bar, I’m introducing a new series — Nashville Pairings — where I visit two nearby spots in one outing. This time, I’m on Nolensville Pike.
Primitive Coffee Company
I kicked things off at Primitive Coffee, self described as “a coffee shop that feels like your living room.” It earns this reputation with shelves of trinkets, unique mugs, and cozy lighting. The shop also likes to have fun with seasonal drinks — this spring’s pro wrestling-themed menu is no exception. I ordered the Hitman Hart, a jasmine green tea strawberry lemonade.
Dozen Bakery
From there, I walked over to Dozen Bakery, which relocated from Wedgewood-Houston last year. The spring veggie club earned an immediate “Is this my new favorite sandwich in Nashville?” after the first bite. And what magic do they put in the chocolate cardamom madeleines?
Asked

Concert
Attention, Telecaster fans. Fender is bringing “Tele Town” to the Ryman Auditorium on Monday, May 4. The concert celebrating 75 years of the iconic guitar will feature Brad Paisley, Brothers Osborne, Zach Top, and many others.
Plan Ahead
Lace up and leash up. Nashville Humane Association’s annual Mutt Strutt 5K is set for Sunday, May 17 at Shelby Bottoms Greenway with dog-friendly vendors and contests. Registration is $30.

$1.50. That’s the price of Costco’s iconic hot dog — a tasty shopping staple and a viral deal in its own right. But it’s far from the only bargain worth knowing about.
